100 bucks says an oil company or auto company buys the patent and we never see it again.

It would make more financial sense if they buy the patents then gimp the production of energy. Make it so that you need to continuously purchase new supplies to keep the technology working.

The fossil fuel business is very dirty and expensive (not just environmentally) so I think they have just as much of an incentive to find an alternative energy source that's cheaper and easier to manipulate while keeping their profit margins up.

MIT researchers found that shining light on a sheet of graphene, treated so that it had two regions with different electrical properties, creates a temperature difference that, in turn, generates a current.

Holy sh!t: Liver cells turned into fully functioning neurons

Quote:

Fully mature liver cells from laboratory mice have been transformed directly into functional neurons by researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine. The switch was accomplished with the introduction of just three genes and did not require the cells to first enter a pluripotent state. It is the first time that cells have been shown to leapfrog from one fundamentally different tissue type to another.
